Computer ? What software is the 'easiest' on CPU for DVD playback


Trouble Maker

Recommended Posts

So I have an OLD computer. I got a 22" LCD for Christmas and for shits and giggles I would like to see if this thing will play DVD's. I do have a DVD player that I just got for reading DVD-rom's, but obviously it will read DVD video's too. I am just looking for the least processor/memory intensive DVD's.

 

System is something like P3 ~700mhz, 256mb of ram, 64mp (IIRC) PCI Video card w/DVI (currently connected to monitor). So I'm fully expecting this to not work, but I would like to try it.

 

I will probably get something down the road, but it's a little hard to justify when 99% of what I would ever do is browse the internet/listen to music, so I'm looking not looking to upgrade anything on this (I'm sure this would work with hardware decoding). If you're answer is "get a new PC", well that's pretty obvious. I'm just wanting to see if this will work for now.
